Revelation Under Water

The master's softly spoken words waftedTo the disciple's eager earsIf you are a true truth seekerThen come with me to the river Where you'll dip your head under waterAnd let me help keep you downAs long as you can.

The disciple has to but followThe master to the slippery bankMuddy and slushy: they had to hold handsTheir bare feet emittingCork-opening sounds as theirTheir heels came off the sticky ground.

Wading waist deep in waterThe disciple dipped his head And let his master place his handLightly over his headAs if to help him drown.

For long he held his breathAs the master's hand remained in its place.How could he come out of the water?What if he dies of suffocation?He recollected his yoga trainingLife after death; death after lifeHe saw the image of his motherCalling him from him somewhere farThe image of his one time loverSprang up from nowhereCome out of the water!Come into my arms!He shuddered at the thoughtOf the past rushing backHe had left all that to seekThe elusive truth slipping through his handsLike the streaming moonbeamsI can't bear it any longerAre there tears in his eyes?May be not; but he's not afraidHe has to live to search For what? The precious air...

He pushed his head out of waterAgainst the gentle pressure of hisMaster's hand; he did not need to exert Any great strength to come out.He gasped and drew in the air: longBreaths of relief, which soon turned to Bewilderment at his master’s behavior.

Smiling the master looked at his faceHe knew at once what he wanted to know"What did you want most dearlyWhen your head was under water?”The angry disciple replied, “Why air, only air".The master smiled and said, "If you desire for GodIn that way; He shall surely come to you.”

I am really worried about you, I know that you are very much heart-broken these days. In real I can’t imagine you in such condition, I can only suggest you to be patient and strong enough to cross this crucial phase of life. Always remember that life never stops, it goes on. As I told you one of the best quote “Life will knock us down, but we can choose whether or not to stand back up”, Now you have to stand back up, I believe you are not a loser, remember you are very much capable to grow in future, you have better ideas, So now you have to focus and work hard, not to prove anything to others but only for you, believe me it will really make you happy.

Please don’t assume the things, as you are not very much sure, because these thoughts will cripple you if you let them, also don’t keep hope that things will come back, and don’t call or message, as I can see the situation has turned bad. You can occupy yourself with Gym, work, good thoughts etc.

You are not alone, we all are there with you, so don't loose your confidence, make yourself occupied with other things, plan for Greece, also read inspirational quotes, it will definitely help you in reducing the intensity of this pain.
